Amanda Leatherman is obviously known to poker fans as well, as she was the former host of the World Poker Tour and the Pokerstars.net Big Game.

Following his initial split with Leatherman, Negreanu entered into a four-year relationship with Marisa Rachelle Rodney, with the two deciding to part ways in the summer of 2018. Negreanu would touch on the break-up in some of his World Series of Poker vlogs that were released at the time.
